Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Montabaco Cuba
A fresh, fruity twist on the original Montabaco that's a crowd-pleaser for some, yet leaves others scratching their heads over its 'Cuban' identity and lack of prominent tobacco. Its limited edition status adds to its appeal for collectors.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Montabaco Flor
A polarising release from Ormonde Jayne. Some find this a glorious bouquet with an unexpected tobacco twist, balancing masculine and feminine elements. Others just don't get the hype, finding it a bit too musky and vintage-leaning. Sample first.
